Families would get $2,000 for each new baby starting in 2026.
This bill would create a new federal program to give families a 'baby bonus' of $2,000 for each child born or expected after January 1, 2026. This money would help parents with the costs of raising a child. It would also not count against other benefits they receive.
Today, there is no federal program that gives direct cash payments to parents for new babies. These payments are sometimes called a 'baby bonus.' If this bill becomes law, it would create a new Office of Baby Assistance within the Social Security Administration. This office would provide eligible parents with a $2,000 payment for each qualifying child, starting January 1, 2026. This payment would be adjusted annually for the cost of living.
